during an interview on his home network NewsNation that he’d be testifying Monday.Stirewalt’s testimony supported the Committee’s assertion that a “Red Mirage” – the tendency of Republicans to win on Election Day, while Democrats tend to carry early- and mail-in voting – was expected. Yet Trump took the overnight reversal as a sign that the election was fraudulent, despite being warned repeatedly by advisors of the common phenomenon.Bill Barr, Trump’s former Attorney General, confirmed in his Monday testimony that people within the campaign and the administration were aware that the outcome was always in question while mail-in and early votes were being counted.“I didn’t think much of that because everyone understood for weeks that that was what was going to happen on Election Night,” Barr said.Stirewalt boasted that Fox News Channel, where he worked on the Decision Desk, was the first major outlet to call Arizona for Biden, and they were able to do so with tools like “a better set of data” than its competitors and a partnership with The Associated Press.“Our Decision Desk was the best in the business, and I was very proud to be a part of it,” Stirewalt said.

CNBC.Bankert, caught off guard by her own scoop, pressed Stirewalt for details.“I’m not in a position to tell you what my testimony will be about,” he said. “I just want to make sure that folks know that I am, so I’m not playing any hidden-ball tricks here.

Chris Stirewalt, the Fox News political editor let go from the network in January, 2021, said that he has been called to testify before the January 6th Committee and will do so on Monday.

only major network not carrying the hearings live in full, opting instead to keep their primetime lineup of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham intact and breaking away to cover the hearings “as news warrants.” During “A Closer Look” on Wednesday night, Meyers added his voice to the many who are really not shocked.“It doesn’t surprise me that Fox isn’t airing the hearings.
